The Sicilian is the most popular and best-scoring response to White’s first move 1.e4…The earliest recorded notes on the Sicilian Defence date back to the late 16th century by the Italian chess players Giulio Polerio and Gioachino Greco. (Source: Wikipedia)
The Sicilian Defence begins with the moves: 1. e4 c5.
Below are some chesspoems based on The Sicilian Defence.
Ljubomir Ljubojevic vs Garry Kasparov (Niksic (1983))
path must estimates any centre!
texture screens inside instant or
the knight binds violin
memorized surgery (surgery), the global system
and confession, form and intuition switches
Shakhriyar Mamedyarov vs Magnus Carlsen (Corus (2008))
path winks and screens
or steadily secretes diagonal (diagonal), foreground
scarily cites some fate
dark estimate, excused drug luckily
rescues or paves automaton but
personable iron circles isolation
contained itself, alive place above
blazing binary or feathery specimen
resignation drifts
Alexander Stripunsky vs Hikaru Nakamura (Stillwater, 2007)
path cores violin between texture
screens wink (wink) and dark or
any word, mime down intruder
mirror shrouds form, whale or
the dark and tiny centre
a nutrient
Frank James Marshall vs Stodie (Atlantic City (1920))
blazing estimate, possessed reflection, each
wink, each makeshift beef, butt
drags evolved plaster
path softly criss-crosses winged darkness
the word beyond the exit
softly criss-crosses kingdom and
that centre opposes confession
this horizon or instant or
any noise
